David Cuerpo Seattle Fireline

Last night at 10:34 p.m., the Seattle Fire Department’s Fire Alarm Center received 911 calls reporting smoke coming from an apartment building at the 2200 block of Alki Ave. SW. Ladder 11 was the first unit on scene and found smoke coming from a basement unit. As firefighters made their way to the fire room, they found the resident, a 27-year-old male, in the hallway. He was able to safely evacuate out of the building where paramedics provided medical care. He was in stable condition, but declined transportation to a hospital.

Recently, several bars that provided a platform for smaller local artists have closed permanently due to either land purchases and plans to bulldoze, or they just didn't pull through the pandemic.

Westside Seattle's own Patrick Robinson will be displaying more than 20 of his photographs during the West Seattle Artwalk on April 13 from 5 to 8pm.

The show will feature the spectacular scenery West Seattle is known for and the prints will adorn the walls of West Seattle Realty at 2715 California Ave SW.

"I love West Seattle and we are all so remarkably fortunate to live in a place that has so much natural beauty. I try to capture it and share it because that's what makes me happy,
Robinson said.

The photos will be available for purchase during the event but will remain on display until early May. You can see more of Robinson's work on his website at www.patrickrobinson.net.
